In loop quantum gravity the quantum states of a black hole horizon are produced by point-like discrete quantum geometry excitations (or {\em punctures}) labelled by spin $j$. The excitations possibly carry other internal degrees of freedom…
We find the symmetry algebras of cosets which are generalizations of the minimal-model cosets, of the specific form $\frac{SU(N)_{k} \times SU(N)_{\ell}}{SU(N)_{k+\ell}}$. We study this coset in its free field limit, with $k,\ell…
We show that the new classical action for two dimensional gravity (the Jackiw-Teitelboim model) possesses a $W_3$ algebra. We quantise the resulting $W_3$ gravity in the presence of matter fields with arbitrary central charges and obtain…
We generalize some of the standard homological techniques to $\cW$-algebras, and compute the semi-infinite cohomology of the $\cW_3$ algebra on a variety of modules. These computations provide physical states in $\cW_3$ gravity coupled to…
The fermionic coset is a limit of the pure spinor formulation of the AdS5xS5 sigma model as well as a limit of a nonlinear topological A-model, introduced by Berkovits. We study the latter, especially its symmetries, and map them to higher…
Holographic entanglement entropy provides a direct connection between classical geometry and quantum entanglement; however the usual prescription does not apply to theories of higher spin gravity, where standard notions of geometry are no…
In the Entropic Dynamics (ED) approach the essence of quantum theory lies in its probabilistic nature while the Hilbert space structure plays a secondary and ultimately optional role. The dynamics of probability distributions is driven by…
Within the context of top-down holography, we study a one-parameter family of regular background solutions of maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions, dimensionally reduced on a 2-torus. The dual, four-dimensional confining field…
We discuss a spectrum generating algebra in the supersymmetric quantum mechanical system which is defined as a series of solutions to a specific differential equation. All Hamiltonians have equally spaced eigenvalues, and we realize both…
We discuss the N=2 extension of Polyakov-Bershadsky $W_3^{(2)}$ algebra with the generic central charge, $c$, at the quantum level in superspace. It contains, in addition to the spin 1 N=2 stress tensor, the spins $1/2, 2$ bosonic and spins…
We develop a bottom-up holographic model that provides the dual description of a strongly coupled field theory, in which the spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry yields the SO(5)/SO(4) coset relevant to minimal…
In this paper, we derive the field equations of quartic quasi-topological gravity by varying the action with respect to the metric. Also, we obtain the linearized graviton equations in the AdS background and find that it is governed by a…
We study charged dilaton black branes in $AdS_4$. Our system involves a dilaton $\phi$ coupled to a Maxwell field $F_{\mu\nu}$ with dilaton-dependent gauge coupling, ${1\over g^2} = f^2(\phi)$. First, we find the solutions for extremal and…
We derive the statistical entropy of the Schwarzschild black hole by considering the asymptotic symmetry algebra near the $\cal{I^{-}}$ boundary of the spacetime at past null infinity. Using a two-dimensional description and the Weyl…
A consistent set of asymptotic conditions for the simplest supergravity theory without cosmological constant in three dimensions is proposed. The canonical generators associated to the asymptotic symmetries are shown to span a…
In this paper we discuss a higher spin extension of the holographic symmetry algebra for graviton and gluon. Our primary observation is that in the presence of higher spin particles the soft symmetry algebra has a subalgebra isomorphic to…
It has been believed for a long time that the tensionless limit of superstring theory can be described by a higher spin gauge theory. Recently, a concrete realization of this idea was proposed via 3d Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis (ABJ) theory…
It is generally believed that the semiclassical AdS$_3$ higher spin gravity could be described by a two dimensional conformal field theory with ${\cal{W}}$-algebra symmetry in the large central charge limit. In this paper, we study the…
Two dimensional Warped Conformal Field Theories (WCFTs) may represent the simplest examples of field theories without Lorentz invariance that can be described holographically. As such they constitute a natural window into holography in non…
In this work we develop a geometrical unification theory for gravity and the electro-weak model in a Kaluza-Klein approach; in particular, from the curvature dimensional reduction Einstein-Yang-Mills action is obtained. We consider two…
